Review title of PWEEP MACHINE96Good, but not perfect.

For most of my experience with this game, I've had fun, but i'd rather point out the flaws so the devs can improve on this one or the next installment. If there was a clothing system, character creation, and the ability to create a network of societies like in the walking dead (I know that's what allies are for, but it's way too simplified), then i'd have a better experience. I want to be attached to my group, so if i had complete control over a characters' appearance, traits, clothes, skills, etc; then i'd be happier. One big issue is group members and other people getting mad for not helping them. I don't want to babysit everyone in the game. Fixing the physics of the game would be nice (it feels wonky). I wouldn't mind having a few bugs and glitches, as long as they aren't game breaking. I also think it would be a cool concept if you had the choice to live by yourself instead of a group. I might be asking too much, but it would draw in a lot of players.

Review title of WarchildeTastes great, but less filling! Update: Tastes Great!

SOD2 is a technical improvement in every respect compared to SOD1. Better character options, vehicle upgrades, vastly superior base building, better zombie abilities, much expanded npc enclave interactions (including human enemies). Pretty much anything we wished for in SOD1 and more, even though most of us loved the original, myself included.
But somewhere along the way, amongst those improvements, the game lost some of its soul. The graphics got more shiny and cartoonish to the point where the zombies aren't really scary. the gameplay is designed for player teams to hunt zombies with fireworks and firebreathing cars with your buds while quoting action movies, rather than fighting off death for one more day. If SOD1 was The Walking Dead, SOD2 is Shaun of The Dead. The feel of the game has been drastically altered. Its up to you to decide if that is a big deal or not. 3.5 stars. UPDATED from 10/13/18: After several updates and free new content, this game really shines. 4.25 stars

Review title of Dr.a let down

i loved the 1st one to be sure......this is a rebooted 1st one. the side missions kill the game, dont give you time to do some working on your base and thats a very limited thing to do. the eye candy is good, but Night lasts longer then day by far. makes me want to quit when the night comes. cant see sh!%. all in all a fun game for a day or two, but to much repeating the same old missions kills it for me. It's an on and off type of game. One that keeps you entertained but not very long.

Review title of NHum4NReal Review: *UPDATED*

**UPDATE** 11/11/18
Took a while but most of the big issues have been fixed and the game is as great as it should be. I'm very happy with the current state of the game. The new content updates are progressively improving the game more and more. I look forward to playing this for many years! 👍👍
In 2013, $20 bought me the most addictive videogame experience I've ever had. After sinking over 400 hours into its sequel, I can truly say that SoD2 improves on every single aspect of its predecessor. It uses the same formula but adds a thick layer of authenticity and immersion on top.
If you loved the first game, you will absolutely adore the vast number of improvements that make it more realistic. Every mechanic has received additional depth and detail, from vehicles requiring fuel, to evolving survivor skills.

Review title of WonderWaffles6It improved when I left, but still needs a few things.

The servers aren't ****** anymore, which is good.
Daybreak is a nice touch, but a bit to pricey.
The only thing this needs is realistic weather, story, and an increase of base population.
SOD1 had a story(not a good one but a story nonetheless) that made you think who'es CLEO or what happened to the solders nuked the city in the final dlc of SOD1
If Undead labs explore Red Talon or The Network as a mission or dlc, you get a solid game.

Review title of Russell HDWhat happened! This better be a bug, please read!

This game was my ultimite time killer, but then as soon as i got past day 100ish people just randomly stopped calling for help. I don't know if this is a bug or part of the game. I know im some random person to the people who made this game, but if you read this please fix this. This game was my favorite game, now its the game i find most boring since all i do now i just sit there for hours with nothing happening. I'll give this game 2 stars for now until either this gets fixed. I really hope this isnt some thing in the game to get you to finish the storyline. If it is ill never play agian cause im a grinder gamer. Some games i feel like finishing and some i don't like this one for example.
Updated: This game was a fun longrun, although it's glitches is pretty bad. I can't say this was much of an improvement from the first, but i wanted to personally thank you guys for the good times. I hope you guys can improve in the future.

Review title of Mojo HellcatWorst fears came true

This game would be consistent with a train wreck. No I'm serious, starts out incredibly fun running great. Then you derail after about an hour with no warning. Somebody must've sprayed my characters with some kind of delicious meat cologne because I get attacked by Ferals at least twice a day. I mean I wouldn't be annoyed by that if they weren't constantly breaking into my base running into the room and jumping on me while I'm doing inventory. Is anyone going to help? No because your own people are more interested in lighting cigarettes next to your fuel supply and draining your fuel like a hummer. This game needs a friggen prius at the rate my people go through fuel, by burning it. Fix the juggernauts, I had one grab me through the ground and snap me in two. FIX THE CARS!! We literally touched the side of a wall and it ate half the car. Then it flicked us out and twirled us about like a flaming princess, and exploded.

Review title of BUTERSCOCHGHOSTUpdate does nothing but emphasize problems

Game update (difficulty levels) now punishes you for the game's weird methods. Zombies seem to spawn out of thin air, and sometimes they appear right in front of you. Even if you spent the last 5 minutes clearing the area. Zeds seem to have the upper hand in melee combat, so that if you get hit once with a glitched zombie, you instantly have a trauma and you are slowed down. This isn't an update, it's a downgrade. Increasing zombie spawning so they are dropped in front of you (literally) isn't fun. Having zombies that lock onto you like a missle when they do that stupid run/lunge thing isn't fun. The human AI is also still pretty stupid, it's just they do more damage and/or have aimbot. This **** is borderline unfair, and I wanted an organically harder game. I've redownload this game a few times, and it seems this time will be the last...

Review title of GageGood for laughs and then some.

Despite being initially buggy with the multiplayer (randomly disconnecting and a multitude of small and easily fixable problems) this game has been something my friends and myself were expecting. State of Decay 2 added multiplayer to a game that definitely deserved to have it in the original. The amount of laughs my friends and I have gotten out of the game so far after 3 weeks of play has been unbelievable. Not only is it incredibly fun for and survivor/zombie loving gamer. Its great fun for a solo adventurer as well. The character randomizer allow for an ever changing feeling to the game and the loot not respawning makes you think hard about where to spend your resources for optimal long term survival. With future updates, I hoep to see more maps and even better times with friends.
